With more and more subtle constructions considering sleek engineering, wisdom of the complicated vibration habit of plates, shells, curved membranes, jewelry, and different complicated constructions is vital for today’s engineering scholars, because the habit is essentially diverse than that of easy buildings equivalent to rods and beams.

26 3. 1 Rossby waves In the preceding section, we obtained for surface inertial-gravity waves a cut-off frequency of ω = f at which both the earth's rotation and gravity are important. Does this imply that there would be no waves falling into the frequency range ω < f? The answer is: yes or no. Recall that in our previous model, the Coriolis parameter, f, was treated as a constant, namely, the earth curvature has been neglected. This assumption is valid only when the application range of latitude is small.
